After four days of travel, Richard finally returned to Nord City and returned to his warm and comfortable Hippolito Palace. The first thing he did after returning to the court was to go to the study to write about the establishment of the so-called state-owned enterprise. s plan. He thought about it or dismissed his plan to start from scratch, and instead bought a ready-made firm or funded the business like the nobles of this era.

To be on the safe side, he discussed with the financial controller Walcoma. The latter did not agree to directly invest in buying a firm. As the financial controller, he knew that the current state finances were not enough to support Richard's mischief. He said directly to Richard: "Your Majesty, I have to regret to remind you that our finances are not rich. We spent a total of more than 30,000 silver coins on the construction of the cathedral. You also ordered the Ulif It also costs money to lead a new silver mine. The currency reform you want to implement will require a large amount of silver coins. The large amount of expenditure will make our treasury bottom out."

"It costs so much money to build the cathedral?" Richard was a little surprised. This is just the beginning of the construction, which is too exaggerated.

Walkoma explained with a wry smile: "Your Majesty, the construction of the cathedral requires the use of fine stone and wood, which have to be shipped from other places, including the cost of collecting raw materials and transportation, as well as labor compensation. Then, After the shipment arrives, the craftsman must be polished and cut before it can be used for construction. This also requires funds..." At this point, he did not continue to say, because there is a link that requires more funds. It is the interior decoration of the church after its completion, whether it is the stained glass that the church must have or the utensils and crosses used in religious ceremonies, these all need to be specially made and cost more. Therefore, churches are not easy to build. You can't feel the harm when you only need to spend a small amount of money to have the system to help you build it. Now without the aid of the system, everything seems so difficult.

Richard clearly realized this now. He struggled for a while and then asked: "Walcoma, tell me honestly, if we want to continue to mine the silver mine of Urif, how much do we need to spend? ?"

"This..." Wal-Koma hesitated, and he calculated in his mind for a while before repliing: "Your Majesty, including the construction of the mine, we spent less than 10,000 silver coins, but the return we got is far away. Much higher than this value." At the end, before Richard was happy with this answer, he reminded: "Of course, if you postpone the start of currency reform, we can get more benefits."

"..."

Richard was silent. Wal-Mart’s intention was obvious to make him give up the idea of ​​currency reform. Richard’s so-called new currency, the Mark, contains even more silver than the current currency in circulation in the Kingdom of Winster. Seriously, this is a waste of silver in the eyes of the treasurer. If the country is not short of money and silver, it would be nice to say, but there is only one silver mine being mined and a newly discovered silver mine within the kingdom, which cannot withstand Richard's waste at all.

After a long time, Richard sighed and said quietly: "If this is the case, let's postpone the start of currency reform indefinitely. Let's stabilize the current financial situation first."

"I'm glad you made a wise decision, Your Majesty." Walcoma said in a cheerful tone. He even bent over and bowed. Seeing him like this, Richard's heart suddenly felt relieved. At least he is for this country. Wal-Koma soon left. After he left, Richard was on the table, but he reflected on the many decisions he had made in the past few months. Today he realized how much he had taken for granted. Reform does not mean that you just want to change it. It will cost a lot of money. It may be a lot of money, or it may be overwhelming.

"It seems that I am still immature." Richard thought depressed. He can immediately gain the world with the system, but he can't rule the world by himself. With his ability, without the assistance of the system, I am afraid that he will be subjugated. Jun's copy.

After sighing deeply again, Richard slowly got up and walked out of the study with a heavy heart. The guards on both sides of the gate hurriedly followed. They quickly noticed Richard's abnormality and looked at each other. One of them was strong. With the courage, he asked aloud: "Your Majesty Caesar, what's the matter with you?"

Suddenly someone asked, Richard subconsciously turned his head and looked at the person who was interrogating. He saw that he was the guard behind him. He twitched his mouth, barely squeezed out a smile, and said, "I'm fine, Simmons."

He didn't know that the smile he squeezed out was worse than crying in the eyes of the two guards.

"Your Majesty Caesar, although I don't know why you are troubled." The guard named Simmons did not listen to Richard's words, and he continued: "But we still want to tell you ~lightnovelpub.net~ it was you who led us from one The little Kuban Island returned to the mainland and created the foundation of today. In the eyes of all our soldiers, no matter what, you have always been the greatest monarch."

Listening to Simmons’s heartfelt words, Richard was stunned. Yes, he led these soldiers step by step from the small Kuban island to the restoration of the Winster Kingdom, and also annexed a king, an old enemy. Although it relies on the power of the system, his role is obvious. He has survived so many difficulties. Why should he be annoyed by such a small setback?

Thinking of this, the cloud in Richard's heart suddenly dispersed. He patted Simmons and the other guard on the shoulders and said gratefully: "Simons, thank you!"

"This is my duty, Your Majesty Caesar." Simmons was keenly aware of Richard's change, and he said with joy. Then he glanced at the comrades beside him, and they all saw joy in the other's eyes.

"Let's go, back to my bedroom, I haven't lay on my big warm and comfortable bed for a long time!"

...Half a month later, construction of the silver mine led by Ulif began. Soldiers of the First Army escorted a large number of materials, tools and laborers to the depths of the dense forest. While heading to the silver mine, the team was also cutting down. The trees around the route paved the road. In order to complete the construction of the road before the official mining, Richard ordered the members of this team to lay the road on the way. This is of course not voluntary labor. In order to motivate them, Richard De promised to give everyone five Yinterra rewards.

With the incentive of the reward, the speed of road paving was unprecedentedly fast. In just ten days, the road was completed in this dense forest. Then, the excavation and construction of the silver mine was officially put on the agenda.
